New York, Dec. 29.—The Herald’s
Columbia, S. 0., special says that
the House Committee has, in conclu-ding
its labors here, ascertained that
the Hayes electors have an average
majority of about six hundred votes
over the Tilden electors in this State.
This result was reached early Thurs-day
morning by the accountants of
the committee, and is based upon the
returns of the precinct managers,
and the actual votes cast, as near as
the committee could get at them. It
was with some difficulty that the
sub-committee remaining here could
be persuaded to give this aunounce-ment
to the press, and it was then
qualified by the remark that there
were certain illegal boxes, irregular-itics
and discrepancies that would
have to be considered by the entire
committee when it again assembles
at Washington. The two sub-corn-mittees
at Charleston will meet the
one now here at Florida in a few
days, when the entire committee
will proceed to Washington to com-plcte
its labors. It is safe to say that
the committee will be unanimous in
declaring that the solid electoral
vote of South Carolina was cast for
Hayes and Wheeler on the 7th of No-vember
last.
The committee, while it did not go
into a formal investigation as to the
election ot State officers, was re-quested
to do so incidentally in as-certaining
the facts as to the elec-toral
vote, and it is generally safe to
say that the gentlemen composing it
are almost unanimous in th* opin-ion
that Hampton and the remainder
of Ike Deoaecratio State ticket are

Washington, Dec. 29.—In the Sen-j
ate Mr. G-ordon, of Georgia, pre-
Rented a memorial of Wade Hamp-ton,
Wm. B. Simpson, W. D. Wai-lace,
aud 58 senators and representa-tives
in the General Assembly of
South Carolina, addressed to Con-
| gress and reciting at length the
points which have recently trans-pired
in the State, interference of
the military, etc., and asking Con-gress
to take such action as will
cause a cessation of military inter-ference
in the affairs of the State,
and enable the Governor and legis-lature
to exercise the duties of the
offices to which they were elected.
The memorial having been read Mr.
Gordon moved that it be referred to
the Senate Judiciary committee.
Mr. Freliughuysen moved to amend
so as to refer it to the committee on
Privileges and Elections, instead of
the Judiciary committee.
Pending discussion Mr. Gordon,
by unanimous consent, submitted a
resolution recognizing the Hampton
government as the legal government
of South Carolina, but objection was
made to it by Mr. Morton and
others, aud it was laid over.
The question being on Mr. Fre-linghuysen’s
amendment, twelve
senators voted in the affirmative and
thirteen in the negative.
The chairman presented a tele-gram
from Gen. John A. Logan, of
Illinois, now in Chicago, stating that
he would not be able to return to
Washington in time, as a member
of the special committee, to devise
means for the count of the electoral
vote, and asking to be excused from
further attendance as a member of
said committee. No objection being
made, Mr. Logan was excused, 'and
Mr. Conkling, of New York, was
appointed to fill the vacancy.
There being no quorum present
tlie Senate at 1:80 adjourned toTues-day,
Jan. 2d, as had been previously
determined upon.
House—A memorial was present-ed
asking for an appropriation to
improve the navigation of Red River,
from its mouth to Jefferson, Texas.
It was ordered published in the Con-gressional
Record, and to-morrow a
hill will be introduced appropriate
ing one hundred thousand dollars
for the purpose indicated in the me-morial.
The Republican electoral vote of
Louisiana has been received by mail,
but none from either party yet by

Not more than fifty members of

that passed. No committees met.

Saulsbury asked for information in
regard to a seeming inaccuracy in
reference to the statement of the Ro-publican
electors.

Tn. Oregon Imbroglio.
Washington, Dec. 29.—The com-mittee
of Privileges and Elections
commenced on the Oregon case to-day.
Chadwick, Secretary of State
of Oregon, testified that the first in-timation
he had of Watts being a
postmaster, was after the election.
The Governor and himself agreed to
be governed in making the lists by
the acts of Congress and the statutes
of Oregon. Heard the arghments
before acting Odell, the republican
elector, testified during the proceed-ings.
Odell was elected President
and Cartwright Secretary. Watts
tendered his resignation, which was
accepted. Cronin then said, “You
refuse to recognize me?” Witness
said, “No sir, but we want the certi-ficates.
You must not think we will
not act with you, and you must
never go .from here and say wo
would not act with you.” Cronin
then left and the college proceeded
to cast the vote, Watts being elected
to fill the vacancy caused in the col-lege
by his own resignation.
Uor4on’a Resolution.
Washington, Dec. 29.—The follow-ing
is Senator Gordon’s South Caro-lina
resolution, which can be called
up by him at any time, and will be
regularly before the Senate:
“Resolved by the Senate, That the
State government now existing in
South Carolina and represented by
Wade Hampton as Governor, is the
lawful government of said State,
that it is republican in form, and that
every assistance necessary to sustain
its proper and lawful authority in
said State should he given by the
United States when properly called
upon for that purpose, to the end
that the laws may be faithfully and
promptly executed, life and property
protected and defended, and all vio-lators
of the laws, State or Na-tional,
be brought to speedy punish-ment
for their crimes.”
The South Carolina memorial will
come “before the Senate again on
Tuesday next.
